Meat exporter and alleged hawala dealer Moin Akhtar Qureshi, arrested in a money laundering case, on Tuesday told a court here that he had received written threat notes from jailed gangster Neeraj Bawana in Tihar Central Jail.
Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Special Judge Arun Bhardwaj has asked jail officials to file a response on Qureshi's plea for shifting him from a high-security ward to a normal ward due to threats.
Extending Qureshi's judicial custody, the court has listed the matter for November 10.
Qureshi said in his plea that he was getting threats and extortion demands daily, which he reported to jail officials but did not get any relief.
He exhibited threat notes allegedly written by Bawana in his hand.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested Qureshi on August 25 after a case was filed against him last year under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act on charges of illegal forex dealings and tax evasion.
